[0012]However, when forming the solid electrolyte layer of a capacitor, if one of the conductive film formation methods disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. S63-158829, S63-173313 and H07-105718 is used, then a problem arises in that the withstand voltage of the capacitor tends to fall. Moreover, in the electrolytic polymerization method disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. S63-158829, the step of forming a conductive layer composed of a manganese oxide not only makes the method more complex, but the formed manganese oxide has low conductivity, and therefore a problem arises in that the effect of using a conductive polymer with a high degree of conductivity is weakened.
[0017]The present invention has been proposed in light of the circumstances described above, and has an object of providing a solid electrolytic capacitor that is able to maintain a high capacitance and low ESR, and also exhibits a high degree of heat resistance. Further, another object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a solid electrolytic capacitor that enables a capacitor having a low ESR and a high degree of heat resistance to be produced with relative ease. Moreover, yet another object of the present invention is to provide a solution for a solid electrolytic capacitor that is suitable for use within the production of a capacitor having a low ESR and a high degree of heat resistance.
[0024]The solid electrolytic capacitor according to the present invention is able to maintain a high capacitance and low ESR, while providing a high degree of heat resistance. The method for producing a solid electrolytic capacitor according to the present invention enables a capacitor having a low ESR and a high degree of heat resistance to be produced with relative ease. The solution for a solid electrolytic capacitor according to the present invention can provide a low solution viscosity and a superior solution viscosity stability that are suitable for producing a capacitor having a low ESR and a high degree of heal resistance.

Problems solved by technology

S63-158829, S63-173313 and H07-105718 is used, then a problem arises in that the withstand voltage of the capacitor tends to fall.
S63-158829, the step of forming a conductive layer composed of a manganese oxide not only makes the method more complex, but the formed manganese oxide has low conductivity, and therefore a problem arises in that the effect of using a conductive polymer with a high degree of conductivity is weakened.
S63-173313, the polymerization time is long, and repeated polymerizations must be performed to ensure the required film thickness, meaning the formation efficiency for the conductive film is poor, and the conductivity achieved is also lower than that obtained using an electrolytic polymerization.
If the conductivity of the capacitor is low, then a problem arises in that the ESR increases.
In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-148331, a problem arises in that moisture must be removed as thoroughly as possible from the capacitor.

Preparation of Conductive Polymer Solution (I)

[0135]14.2 g of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, and a solution prepared by dissolving 42.6 g of a polystyrenesulfonic acid (mass average molecular weight: approximately 300,000) in 2,000 ml of ion-exchanged water were mixed at 20° C.

[0136]With the thus obtained mixed solution undergoing constant stirring with the temperature held at 20° C., an oxidation catalyst solution containing 29.64 g of ammonium persulfate and 8.0 g of ferric sulfate dissolved in 200 ml of ion-exchanged water was added, and the resulting mixture was then stirred and reacted for 15 hours.

[0137]The resulting reaction liquid was subjected to a dialysis treatment to remove ion impurities, and an ion exchange treatment was then performed, yielding a solution containing approximately 1.6% by mass of a conductive complex of polystyrenesulfonic acid and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (hereinafter referred to as a PEDOT-PSS solution).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a solid electrolytic capacitor, a method for producing the solid electrolytic capacitor, and a solution for the solid electrolytic capacitor.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In recent years, the digitization of electronic equipment has been accompanied by a growing demand for reductions in the impedance or equivalent series resistance (hereinafter, the equivalent series resistance is referred to as “ESR”) within the high-frequency region of the capacitors used in the electronic equipment. Conventionally, in order to satisfy these demands, so-called functional capacitors (hereinafter abbreviated as simply “capacitors”) have been used in which an oxide film of a valve metal such as aluminum, tantalum or niobium is used as a dielectric body.[0005]As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No, 2003-37024, the structures of these capacitors typically include an anode composed of a ...
